Extreme home range sizes among Eurasian lynx at the northern edge of their biogeographic range [PDF]
AbstractEurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) have a wide distribution across Eurasia. The northern edge of this distribution is in Norway, where they reach up to 72 degrees north. We conducted a study of lynx space use in this region from 2007 to 2013 using GPS telemetry. The home range sizes averaged 2,606 (± 438 SE) km2 for males (n = 9 ranges) and 1,456 (± 179

Are trapping data suited for home-range estimation?
Modern home-range estimation typically relies on data derived from expensive radio- or GPS-tracking. Although trapping represents a low-cost alternative to telemetry, there lacks an evaluation of the performance of home-range estimators on trap-derived ...

Estimating global determinants of leopard home range size in a changing world
MRR was supported by a Formas project (grant 2017-01443), MK by the Slovenian Research Agency (grants P4-0059 and N1- 0163), and MM by a research contract Ramón y Cajal from MINECO (RYC-2015-19231).Movement is a fundamental process in animal ecology. For

Estimating Queen Conch (Strombus gigas) home ranges using acoustic telemetry: implications for the design of marine fishery reserves [PDF]
Marine reserves (MRs) may function as a vital tool in the conservation and management of marine resources if source populations are managed for the benefit of those downstream.

This study presents the first successful capture using GPS tagging of a jaguar (Panthera onca) using a minimally invasive capture system (MICS). We used snare-foot traps and a MICS during two capture campaigns in a fragment of Atlantic Forest in ...

We evaluated several factors that might be related to the home-range size of felids at both inter and intraspecific levels. At the interspecific level, we tested the influence of body mass on home range size of 19 felid species, while controlling for ...

Spatial organisation of badgers (<em>Meles meles</em>) in a medium-density population in Luxembourg
<p><strong>Abstract</strong><br /> Any hypothesis aiming to explain the social organisation of Eurasian badgers <em>Meles meles</em> has to consider its wide inter-population variability.
